Answer 1

Answer:

This issue of the Supplemental Research Bulletin focuses on how people in poverty, with low incomes,

and of low socioeconomic status (SES) experience disasters. We explore the differences in risk

perception and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Although it provides some information on

international disaster events, this issue is primarily focused on disasters that have affected communities

within the United States.

Disaster behavioral health professionals can use this issue of the Supplemental Research Bulletin to

inform their disaster behavioral health planning for low SES populations. The issue helps to clarify the

ways in which people of low SES may be at greater risk than other groups in disasters, as well as barriers

to disaster preparedness and other adverse situations or experiences they may face during the phases of

disaster impact, response, and recovery. The issue also includes suggestions for policies to support better

outcomes for people of low SES in and after disasters.

In selecting research to review for this Bulletin, we took a broad approach to the topics of wealth and

poverty, income, and SES. SAMHSA (2014) defines SES in the United States as “related to many factors,

including occupational prestige and education, yet . . . primarily associated with income level.” Because

SES encompasses occupation and education as well as income, we use it as a general term in this issue.

However, because studies cited in this issue look at multiple factors (for example, income level, poverty,

and years of education), we also indicate the exact ways related to SES that researchers identify groups

of people affected by disasters.

In this issue, we also use the term “vulnerability” broadly, to refer to greater risk of negative experiences,

effects, and reactions before, during, and after a disaster. For example, vulnerability for people of low

SES may refer to greater likelihood of living in fragile housing, having difficulty accessing resources after

a disaster, and experiencing trauma during and after a disaster. It also may refer to lower likelihood of

receiving warnings of disasters, having the ability to evacuate in response to disaster warnings, and being

able to access post-disaster aid. We use vulnerability as a measure of risk or likelihood—not of actual

negative experiences, effects, and reactions.
